Today we have a special reason for the melomaniac joy – the first vinyl release! Yes, we had one record on ZHELEZOBETON before, but that was a 7" lathe-cut on polycarbonate (ZHB-LXIX), and now we have a real factory-printed 12"EP with the reissue of the last year's Vetrophonia "Russian Universal Robots" tape, prepared together with the new Alexander Lebedev-Frontov's label Ultrasomnambula U. The edition is only 100 copies, so we recommend to hurry until it's sold out! ~ http://www.special-interests.net/forum/index.php?topic=9020.0

Our August mailorder updates features over 50 new titles on CDs, vinyl and tapes!

If you enjoy dark-ambient & drone music, you probably should try the CDs of the labels Winter-Light (Netherlands), Purple Soil and Nextera (both from Czech Republic), and if you're into harsher side of things - check out some stuff from Aliens Production (Slovakia), Les Nouvelles Propagandes (France), 4iB Records (Singapore) and the new releases of Galakthorrö (Germany).

Autumn is the harvest time and we also have finally a couple of releases ready for picking up! MODELBAU "Ypsilon" – a project of the well-known Dutch musician and journalist Frans de Waard, two long pieces of ultra-minimalistic sonic fields and abstract meditative vibrations. Available on cassettes, discs and digitally.

We also got back in stock the encyclopedia of Italian experimental music "Viva Italia", written by Dmitry Vasilyev and covering the period from 1955 to 2015. A monumental work, available only in Russian language, the book comes with a 4 CD compilation of Italian artists. More info about this edition is here: http://vivaitalia.xyz.

And thirdly, the recording of the performance by Petrograd Drone Gathering (to which the participants of the aforementioned projects are directly related) at the Electro-Mechanica festival held in November 2018 in St. Petersburg. A small edition in the extremely outdated but still beloved CD-R format: https://zhelezobeton.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-electro-mechanica-2018

Meanwhile, I'd like to remind about our WINTER SALE -50% which will last only for one more week! If you wanted to order something, but hesitated for some reason – now is the right moment to buy it at half price. In the distro catalogue look for the sign [-50%], and in the rare & used list sale items are marked by green colour. Please send your orders by e-mail mm@radionoise.ru or zhelezobeton@inbox.ru. Reservations are possible for a reasonable period.

I don't know how it happens, but for the third time in a row this year we make the newsletter on the 22nd day of the month :) Anyway, congratulation with the Equinox, and I wish you truly vernal spiritual power!

This time Russian scene is presented by the releases of such labels as kultFRONT (third and final part of David Lynch tribute on tape), NEN Records (two killer industrial-techno tapes), Paper Moon Republic (triumph of Siberian lo-end), Aquarellist (reissue of an untitled Muslimgause album from the early period), and works of the projects Bardoseneticcube + Kromeshna, The Red Tibet and Pustota.

Together with the labels Aquarellist and we're glad to present the CD edition of the album "Monochrome" by Cisfinitum, which was originally released last fall by NEN Records as a tape limited to just 45 copies. The album is dedicated to the memory of the music journalist and publisher Dmitry Vasilyev and is designed in the aesthetics close to the releases of Dmitry's label Monochrome Vision: https://zhelezobeton.bandcamp.com/album/monochrome
